Elegant as a floating cloud
Her breath tastes of sugar
Her eyes have stolen the stars
Porcelain skin that burns
...
Take flight upon the cruise
Of the hundred wishful feathers
As it pretends to be claws
That grasp at the forsaken loom
...
And when the happiest
Wallpaper of days
Seem too perfect
Along comes a mug
...
I'd rather want you
To want to hurt me
So that way
I know I'm too good
...
sky dew lightheadedly prance
on your translucent face
lackluster takes rapid flight
into spaces and corners
...
My elbow hits the edge of the table
As I stretch towards the clouds
To capture the stars I’ve buried
Somewhere between the moon
...
Our wrists attached themselves
As if they activated incendiarism;
Our destiny suddenly flashed
Before our once-murky vision,
...
Perfectly obscured
Are the consummated
Verses upon my skin
The naughty balladry
...
How do I learn when I’m afraid to try?
How do I live when I refuse to wake?
How do I look when I’m afraid to see?
...
Once upon a time
it wasn’t hers.
Once upon a time
it was a thought that occurred.
